The meaning of the saying of the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him: «None rejects generosity except for a donkey»
أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا الحميري، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن عثمان بن عيسى عن سماعة بن مهران، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: سألته عن الرجل يرد الطيب، قال: لا ينبغي له أن يرد الكرامة.
4. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by al-Himyari, from Ahmad bin Muhammed, from Uthman bin Isa, from Sama’a bin Mahran, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: I asked him about a man who rejects perfume. He said: He should not reject generosity.
